Hell Gate
(Statute Mile 602, Georgia ICW)

The Problem: Hell Gate was dredged during the summer of 2009, and for a time all was well. HOWEVER, reports starting in May, 2009 and running until October of 2011, indicate that shoaling is reappeared here, with MLW depths near marker #87 of as little as 4 1/2 feet.

The Solution: Time your passage through Hell Gate for mid to high tide
